Escape 1

Cyrus tilted his head to the side, smirked and sat on the bed. He picked the book and flipped it open.

"Are you sure?" He asked casually.

Sage stared at him in awe not expecting him to be so calm.

"There is no way I am going to let you use this mark to your advantage." She snapped at him.

"Well, I am." Cyrus hissed and turned his gaze to her.

Sage blinked rapidly pressing her lips.

She felt doomed but she wasn't going to let him step on her and continue using her like she was his puppet.

"Okay!" She exclaimed dramatically and stood on the bed.

Cyrus stared at her dully then returned his gaze back to the book.

"I will give you myself willingly." She announced confidently.

"And?" Cyrus asked and flipped a page open.

Sage inhaled deeply and lowered her head, dizzy and exhausted. She shook her head as she stood on her ground, ready to make a decision that would save her kingdom.
